In Reply to: How to smooth edges of cut sheet metal? posted by Tiffany Doyle on December 04, 1999 at 19:25:47:

Secure the sheet metal to a table(or get someone to hold it with

about a 1/4" hangin' off the table. Take a fine flat file at a 45 degree angle to the corner till there are no visible "burrs"

Flip the the sheet over and repeat the process to the other side.

Feel along the edge lightly to find any remaining burrs. Do not

drag yer dirt diggers along the edge until you are resonably sure you have removed all burrs. For a smoother edge yet,take an

ordinary sharpening stone and glide it over the edge,working it at different angles to insure the corners are in fact"without burrs". Hope this helps ...you sheetmetalmonstermonkey
